Is it difficult, knowing a programming language at the junior level, to find a remote job?

Question

Distant work

I'm thinking about starting to learn how to program in order to work remotely. In this regard, several questions arose:
Is it difficult, knowing the language at the junior level, to find a remote job?
What languages ​​are good for remote work? (easy to find vacancies/orders)
What do you think about java and javascript (node.js in particular) in this aspect?
What languages ​​have a low entry threshold?

Answer 1

Specifically, remote work (and not freelance) is easy to find. And you don’t even need any cool knowledge, just look for the job of a “jack of all trades”. You will support sites, create new ones and all that (about how to develop at the same time, it is written below). Only pay will be small. More precisely, they will pay little by the standards of a Moscow citizen, but for some small town you will feel almost rich compared to most of your friends, and at the same time work 3-6 hours a day.
As for development, it all depends on you. If you cannot live without the constant help of more experienced employees, then it will be difficult for you. If you know how to google (and very few people really know how), like to read all possible articles / books / discussions and have a craving for downloading demos / bikes, then “pumping” will go much faster than in some standard “local web”. -studios. I say this from my own experience. A year ago, I left the local "top web studio of the city" (top 40 Bitrix studios in Russia, if I'm not mistaken, although in fact it's sad there) being a green jun with 5 months of work experience, I immediately got a job remotely (right on the same evening) , and now I show my former colleagues my front-end demos every week and they consider me a master (although it is important to clarify here that working remotely,
So my opinion is that as a junior, it is only important for you to think about the effectiveness of your development, and if working remotely seems like a convenient growth option for you, then look for it without hesitation.

Answer 2

If you post an ad that I teach programming for the web for free with subsequent employment, then simply crowds of people begin to break. Result? 99% of them disappear after a month. Because they do not want or do not know how to work and study on their own (when providing any advisory assistance). Because they can’t do periodically not very exciting things, because they are sprayed. So in a month they will want to become designers, in another month they will want to become photographers, and so on.
Why am I saying this? You will face the same. Sdyuzhite? It is difficult to study on your own and you need to have fun, as the Americans say, this should work. Otherwise, it will be garbage ... I'll get tired of everything in a month.

Answer 3

Difficult, but possible.
Another issue is that I don't recommend it. You would like to gain experience and knowledge. And without personal communication with Seniors, it will be stressful.

Answer 4

Very simply, junior is already a normal level and several years of experience.
But by mistake, many beginners consider themselves juniors.

Answer 5

Captain is right...
My friend also wanted to make money online. At first he was a layout designer, a few weeks later a designer, then a copywriter .... You need to study, search for information on your own, google, etc. Unfortunately, most consider remote work to be some kind of idleness and that you can earn money without making any effort.
And no one will teach. Because you need to spend your time on it, and time, as we all know, is money) The same junior no one will take you without any knowledge, again due to the fact that training will take time, which means money. In addition, there is a risk that you will be trained and you will leave for another company.

Answer 7

I have never looked for remote work, because with all its convenience, there is one big minus: you cannot move up the career ladder (horizontal growth, I mean). Remote work as a temporary solution is ideal, but do not forget that by the age of 40 it will be more and more difficult for you to catch up with young specialists in terms of knowledge (more than one article has been written on this topic), and here a transition to a managerial position suggests itself.

Answer 8

Specialists working for a bowl of rice are always needed.
Of course, there is some competition.
But if mom and dad provide you with accommodation, then, of course, you can find a job - you will earn money on a smartphone.
